Combating soreness...

[froinlaven]

Hey all, I'm new to this board so first off, hello!

I've been playing DDR pretty regularly (like 30-45 minutes a day) everyday now for almost a month, and I've started feeling a lot of soreness in my calves. I dunno if this is normal or not. I usually play on heavy songs and get a decent workout.

If you've gone through this before, how do you get rid of it? Is it just normal "growing" pains, or should I maybe take a day off?

Should be fine and regular if it's in your calves, those are basically just 'growing pains.'

If there's pain in your shins, though, that's a different story. That could be shin splints.
